YAWMovement of boom wings horizontally in oppositedirections. As the rig speeds up, slows down, or turns,the boom wings will tend to "whip" fore and aft. Thismovement again can be very stressful on a rigidstructure. Yaw movement is also very detrimental tothe spray pattern. The illustration shows these adverseeffects. The Spray Wyng is suspended on a verticalaxis to allow yaw movement to be dampened.

ROLLMovement of boom wings vertical in opposite directions.As the rig moves through uneven terrain, it will "roll"similarly to a ship in an uncalm sea. This effect ismultiplied tremendously throughout the boom, as gravitytries to force the boom to remain level. As one enddrops, the opposite end rises. The more rigid thestructure, the greater the stress. The Spray Wyng boompivots on a horizontal shaft and is dampened withsprings and shocks to eliminate much of this stress.This mechanism also functions as the levelling device.The SPRAY WYNG BOOM WILL MAINTAIN ACONSTANT LEVEL SPRAY PLANE AT HIGH SPEEDSWITHOUT ENSUING STRUCTURAL OR CROPDAMAGE..

The SPRAY WYNG design principle is that the boom maintains a parallelposition with the spray surface, as well as a perpendicular position with theline of travel, at speeds of up to 20 mph over rough terrain. The SPRAYWYNG applicator line is designed to allow the grower timely, high-speed,and accurate application while eliminating costly application fees. To under-stand the underlying design principal, it is important to be familiar with threebasic terms of movement: Lift, Yaw & Roll.

LIFTUp-and-down movement. This movement causes "bounce" and is controlledby the main shock and spring assembly to the "gimble" arm in the center ofthe boom. This is the main suspension mechanism of the unit.

Under Application

Over Application

WYLIE Spray Wyng • The SPRAY WYNG boom represents an important evolution in the design of the agricul-tural spray boom. The SPRAY WYNG is isolated from the motion and vibration of the tractor or spray rig by a"dampened gimble" suspension system that floats the boom free of the rig. This unique 3-dimensional suspen-sion virtually eliminates both vertical and horizontal action.

Inspection & Setup

Inspection & SetupWyng Trakr Spray Trailer:If the “Wyng Trakr” was transported with the auxiliarypull tongue, lower and lock the parking stands beforeunhooking from the transport vehicle. Remove thepull tongue. Unpin the transport turnbuckle and store iton the frame rack.

To prevent serious injury or death from crushing:

• Lower and lock front and rear sets of parking standsbefore unhooking from tractor.• Do not make repairs or adjustments to Wyng Trakrwithout setting both sets of parking stands firmly onthe ground.

It is advised that a quick-hitch be used to help lockthe lower lift arms in the proper position. Install liftarm shims to take all side-to-side slack out of thelower lift arms. Shorten top link to its minimum length.

Some tractor’s 3 point hitches rise when subjected tonegative tongue weight. This can occur when the maintank is almost empty, the boom is unfolded, and thetractor is accelerated rapidly. If your tractor has thistendency, contact Wylie Manufacturing to obtain aturnbuckle that locks the 3 point in a set position.

Attach the tractor’s quick hitch to the sprayer’s lowerhitches. Adjust the lower hitches to remove all slackbetween the quick-hitch and the lower hitches.

Check lug bolts, boom mount bolts and tongue boltsfor tightness.

Insert hydraulic hoses into the tractor remotes. Takecare to keep the hose pairs together. The articulatinghydraulic system is a closed system that was chargedand calibrated at the factory. Only factory trainedtechnicians should make any adjustments to thearticulating hydraulic system.

Note: Excessive “whipping” of the Wyng Trakr is a signof low hydraulic fluid level in the frame reservoir. Removethe plug from the tongue reservoir and add hydraulic oiluntil the oil runs out of the hole. Replace the plug. Callthe Wylie factory for more information.

3 Point Booms:Mount pump and controller as described in the respectiveoperator’s manuals for each component. If using an auto-matic controller, calibrate the controller with the basicsettings as described in the controller owner’s manual.This will be necessary before the boom can be pressuretested.

Mount the boom to the tractor 3 point hitch. Connectthe discharge hose from the pump to the flow meter.Connect the boom folding and pump hydraulic hoses(unless PTO driven pump is used) to a tractor hydrauliccircuit. Move the tractor to a flat area with sufficientclearance to unfold the boom.

Other Trailer Mounted Booms:The boom, pump and valve manifold will already bemounted to the trailer. Install the controller console inthe tractor cab as instructed in the controller manual.Connect the lifting, folding and pump hydraulic hosesto the tractor hydraulic circuits. Move the tractor to aflat area with sufficient clearance to unfold the boom.

Assure that the area is clear of all people beforeunfolding boom. Failure to do so could cause bodily

injury to anyone hit by an unfolding boom.

Remove the locking chains from the boom before un-folding. Carefully unfold and fold the boom several timesto purge any air from the folding hydraulic system.

Locking chains must be removed before unfolding boom.Failure to do so will result in damage to the boom.

With the boom unfolded, check along the length of theboom to assure that the boom is straight. If one ormore sections of the boom is not straight, refer to page17 for instructions on how to straighten boom.

Check the boom to make sure that the boom is parallelto the ground. If one end of the boom is lower than theother, rock the boom to see if the situation correctsitself. If the problem persists, refer to page 18 for in-structions on how to level the boom.

Load about 300 gallons of clean water into the spraytank. Add a few gallons of water to any other tankssuch as the Mix n’ Fill or fresh water tank.

Do not add any chemical to any tank until thesprayer has been fully checked for leaks.

Open ball valves to allow water to gravity flow throughthe system. Check for any leaks. Close all ball valvesexcept the main ball valve between the spray tankand the pump.

It is important to flush the boom before installing thespray tips.

Note: The hydraulic fluid flow supplying the pump mustbe set the first time the pump is engaged and anytimea different hydraulic circuit or tractor is used. Beforeengaging the pump, turn the hydraulic adjustment toits lowest setting for that particular circuit. With thereturn and boom valves turned off, engage the hy-draulic lever and slowly increase the hydraulic fluidflow until the boom pressure gauge reads no morethan 100 psi.

Set the controller to manual. Activate the valve foreach boom section so that water is flushed throughopen nozzle bodies. Turn the pump off once the boomis flushed.

Figure A7Adjusting hydraulic fluid flow

Install the spray tips and tip screens in each nozzlebody. Note: Some sprayers may be equipped withdouble line strainers, therefore, making tip screensunnecessary. Open the agitator ball valve on the spraytank. Engage the pump and open the valves to bringthe boom up to operating pressure. With the boomspraying, check all plumbing connections for leaks.Make sure that all tips are spraying a uniform pattern.

Note: If the sprayer is equipped with a return/mixingline, only open this valve fully when mixing chemicalin the spray tank. This valve can be partially openedduring spraying to control the pump pressure. Fullyopening during spraying will prevent the boom fromachieving operating pressure.

Turn the pump off, close the spray tank ball valve andclean out the main strainer.

Fold the boom and secure the locking chains to pre-vent accidental unfolding during transport.

OperationLoading Spray Material Into TheSprayerSpraying solution can be loaded by either filling with apre-mixed solution or mixing the chemical and carrieron the sprayer. Most trailer mounted sprayers have aMix n’ Fill tank mounted on the trailer while most 3point sprayers use the Mix n’ Fill tank on the nursetrailer.

Trailer Sprayers:Remove the cap from the “Quick Fill” coupling on theMain Fill valve and attach the supply hose to the cou-pling. Open the main fill ball valve as well as the maintank ball valve. Open the supply line. Fill the spraytank with water, less the amount of chemical to beadded. (The Ace pump can be used to fill the tank byclosing the main valve and opening the filler and re-turn valve.)

Always wear protective clothing, i.e. apron, face shield,gloves and respirator, when handling any chemicals.Failure to do so will risk chemical exposure to yourbody resulting in sickness, injury or possibly death.

Pull the lock pin and lower the Mix-n-Fill tank. Placelock pin in the lower position so that the tank stops inthe correct horizontal position. Assure that the Mix-n-Fill ball valve is closed.

Operation

With the Mix n’ Fill ball valve closed, add the desiredamount of chemical to the Mix n’ Fill tank. Open theagitator and return lines, then engage the pump. Closethe spray tank ball valve about halfway to “starve” thepump slightly. Open the Mix n’ Fill ball valve to allowthe chemical to be drawn into the pump. Close the Mixn’ Fill ball valve once the tank is empty to prevent anair leak on the suction side of the pump. Open the re-turn ball valve and let the pump circulate the solutionfor several minutes. Rinse the Mix n’ Fill tank and drawthe rinse water into the spray tank. Raise and lock theMix n’ Fill tank in the transport position. Close the re-turn line ball valve before starting to spray.

The Mix n’ Fill tank should always be empty exceptwhen adding chemical to the sprayer. Raising and low-ering the tank with chemical is dangerous and greatlyincreases the possibility of chemical exposure to yourbody resulting in sickness, injury or possibly death.

3 Point Sprayers:Remove the cap from the spray tank “Quick Fill” cou-pling (if equipped) and attach the supply hose to thecoupling. Open the “Quick Fill” ball valve as well as thesupply line. Fill the spray tank with water or mixed so-lution.

If you are mixing the chemical in the spray tank, care-fully add the desired amount of chemical to the spraytank. Turn the pump on and allow the agitator to circu-late the chemical for several minutes.

Operation

Operating The SprayerIf the sprayer is equipped with the “Hi-Lift linkage” heightadjuster, the transport locks must be retracted to allowthe boom to lower to the operating position. Raise theboom to allow the locks to be retracted. Pull the keeperpin and push the locks into the frame as shown in thepictures below. Return the locks to the transport positionwhen moving from field to field to reduce strain on theboom and lift components.

Remove the boom locking chains before unfolding theboom.

Unfold the boom and line up on the desired area tospray.

The boom must always operate perpendicular to theground. Failure to do this can cause excessive yawmovement and can damage the boom.

Figure B8Boom Locking Chain

Levelling Trailer SprayersAdjust the 3 point hitch on the Wyng Trakr or the draw-bar clevis on other trailer units to level the spray trailer.Set the boom to the desired spraying height by adjust-ing the Hi-Lift or parallel linkage.

Levelling The Boom On 3 Point UnitsSet the 3 point hitch on 3 point mounted units at thedesired boom spraying height. Adjust the top link tolevel the boom while in the spraying position. 3 pointmounted units which are equipped with a parallel link-age can adjust the spraying height without readjustingthe top link.

Activating The SprayerIf you are using an automatic controller, refer to theowner’s manual for instructions on setting the control-ler for the desired spray volume and speed.

Engage the pump, activate the master switch on thecontroller and begin spraying.

Operation

Be aware of any obstructions, animals or people whilespraying. The Spray Wyng booms extends 30-40’ oneither side as you spray. While the boom is equippedwith a breakaway to help protect the boom, damage orinjury can occur in a collision.

The Spray Wyng is designed to operate at speeds of15 mph or even higher. Care and common sense, how-ever, must be used to determine the optimum speedfor a particular spraying operation. Factors such as roughsurface conditions, hillsides and terraces will require aslower operating speed.

Listed below are several things you should check tomaintain trouble free spraying:

*Make sure spray tips are sized for the desiredvolume and speed. (Refer to the TeeJetCatalog if using TeeJet™ tips.)

*Clean pump strainer as needed to maintainadequate flow to the pump.

*Keep tractor hydraulic level full for consistent pump operation.*Keep the agitator ball valve open and the re- turn line ball valve (if equipped) closed or slightly open while spraying.

End Of The Day ProcedureSome chemicals require the boom to be flushed at theend of the day to prevent corrosion in the pump orsettling of chemical in other components. If the sprayeris equipped with a fresh water tank, close the maintank, agitator and return line ball valves, then open thefresh water tank valve. Set the controller for manualoperation, engage the pump and open the boom valvesto allow fresh water to flush the pump and boom.

(4) Remove tips and strainers from the nozzle bodies.Clean strainers and check tips for wear and damage.

(5) Open controller ball valves. Allow the system todrain completely to prevent any parts from breakingdue to freezing. Loosen at least one cap from eachboom section to allow any water inside the nozzle bodiesto drain. Check any fittings where water can collectand disconnect to allow drainage. Reconnect all fittingsand ensure tightness once system is drained.

(6) For further protection, pump environmentally safeantifreeze or winter grade windshield washing fluid intothe lines.

Preparing The Sprayer For Storage(1) Flush the tank, pump and lines with clean water.

(2) Remove cap from the “Quick-Fill” and open ball valve.

(3) Remove the drain plug from the primary strainer andthe plug from the “Tee” to drain the tank and suction lines.Remove pump plug to drain pump housing.

Figure B12Draining Tank

If the boom is not equipped with a fresh water tank, addseveral gallons of clean water to an empty main tank,then engage the pump and open the boom valves to flushthe system.

The 3 point boom is supplied with a portable rest stand.Use this stand for storage of the boom when it is dis-mounted from the tractor.

Lower and lock into place any parking stands suppliedwith trailer units when unhooked from the tractor tomaintain complete stability.

Maintenance and Adjustment

Occasionally, it may become necessary to clear debrisfrom the system. A primary strainer is located beneaththe spray tank.

Clearing Debris From System

Figure C2Removing Tip Strainer

(2) Secondary strainers are located at each nozzle. Toclean, remove the nozzle cap (tip and gasket come outwith cap). Remove strainer from the nozzle body. Cleanand replace.

Wear chemical resistant rubber gloves whencleaning the system. Failure to do so can causesickness or death. Read safety informationprovided by chemical manufacturer for properhandling procedures.

(1) Turn all ball valves off. Remove the strainer’s baseand take out wire mesh screen. Make sure that the strainerO-ring does not get lost during the cleaning process. If theO-ring is lost or damaged, an air leak will result in erraticflow and/or low pressure. Clean and replace the screen.Turn the main tank ball valve on.

(3) Discard and replace damaged strainers.

It is possible for debris to get past the strainers and clogthe orifice of the tip. Clean the tips with a TeeJet™cleaning brush only. Using wire, pocketknives or wirebrushes can cause damage to the tip altering spray volumeor pattern.

Adjustment

Adjusting The BoomThe Wylie Spray Wyng was manufactured to exactingspecifications and should not need adjustment initially.It may become necessary, however, during the life of theboom to make adjustments to the folding/unfolding cycleor the level control. Factory setting dimensions are pro-vided on page 20 as a basic reference point.

Fold/Unfold AdjustmentThe boom should be adjusted so that it is straight whencompletely unfolded. Both sides of the boom shouldalso sit uniformly on the boom rest when folded. Thesetwo conditions are controlled by the combined adjust-ment of several turnbuckles on the center section andprimary wings.

The most important setting is that the boom be straightwhen completely unfolded. Always adjust the primary wingfirst, then straighten the secondary wing. Loosen the jamnuts on the primary turnbuckle and the secondary tie rods.

Figure C3Boom Sections

Figure C4Wing Adjustment Points

1. If the primary wing needs to fold out more, lengthenthe primary turnbuckle. If the primary wing needs to bedrawn in, shorten the primary turnbuckle. The primary wingshould align with the center section. Tighten the jam nuton the primary turnbuckle when the adjustment is complete.

2. If the secondary wing needs to fold out more, lengthenthe back tie rod and shorten the front tie rod. Note:Both the front and back tie rods must be adjusted uni-formly. The amount that is shortened on one tie rodmust be lengthened on the other. If the secondary wingneeds to be drawn in, shorten the back tie rod andlengthen the front tie rod. Align the secondary wingwith the primary wing and center section. Tighten thejam nuts on the secondary wing tie rods.

3. If both wings do not fold in completely, the tele-scoping rod must be shortened. Remove the eyeboltfrom the cam stud, fold both wings manually, thenshorten the eyebolt until it will fit back on the camstud.

4. If one wing of the boom does not fold to the boomrest as securely as the other wing, that wing must beadjusted “in” slightly. There are two crisscrossing tierods in the center section. One has a turnbuckle bodyon the right hand side of the center section while theother has a turnbuckle on the left hand side. Note: Rightand left are determined by standing behind the boomand looking toward the tractor. To pull the right wingin, shorten the left hand turnbuckle and equally lengthenthe right hand turnbuckle. To pull the left wing in,shorten the right hand turnbuckle and equally lengthenthe left hand turnbuckle.

Figure C7Adjusting Telescoping Rod

Figure C8Adjusting Wyng Turnbuckle

Setting The Roll AdjustmentThe ability of the boom to be level side to side is con-trolled by the “roll” springs. Before adjusting any springs,make sure that any misadjustment is not caused byunbalanced weight such as mud buildup on the boomor one end of the boom being emptied of fluid.

The starting point of adjustment at the factory is 3½”of eyebolt extending beyond the welded bracket. Anyshortening of eyebolt adjustment on one side must beaccompanied by an equal lengthening of eyebolt ad-justment on the other side. After adjusting a few roundson each side, roll the boom by hand and let it settle.

To raise the left wing and lower the right wing of theboom, tighten the nut on the right hand spring eyeboltand loosen the nut on the left hand spring eyebolt. Re-verse the process for the opposite problem.

Note: Overtightening the roll springs will cause the boomto become unstable.

Setting The Yaw AdjustmentThe yaw movement is the tendency of a boom to whipback and forth while spraying. That movement is con-trolled on the 60’ Spray Wyng by the yaw springs andshocks. Adjusting the yaw springs is rarely required.

Figure C9Adjusting Roll Springs

Adjustment

There are two springs on each side. The factory settingfor the “outside” spring eyebolts is 3½” of bolt extend-ing beyond the frame. The “inside” spring eyebolt shouldhave 2½” of bolt extending beyond the frame.
